Choosing the right shower door can feel overwhelming with all the options out there—frameless, sliding, swing, bypass, glass thickness, and finishes. At Bakiwhs, we’ve simplified the process. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about how to confidently select, measure, and buy the perfect shower door for your bathroom upgrade in 2025.

1. Decide What Type of Shower Door You Need

Start with your bathroom layout. This helps determine the best type of door:

• Sliding Doors: Great for tight spaces where a door swing isn't possible.

• Swing Doors: Ideal for open bathrooms, offering a wide entry.

• Bypass Doors: Both panels slide; best for bathtubs or large openings.

• Fixed Panel + Swing Combo: A minimalist option for walk-in showers.

Pro Tip: If you're not sure, take a photo of your bathroom and compare it with product examples on Bakiwhs.com to match your space.

2. Choose Glass Thickness & Style

At Bakiwhs, we use 3/8" (10mm) tempered safety glass for durability and elegance. You can choose:

• Clear Glass: Keeps the space feeling open and clean.

• Frosted Glass: Offers more privacy while still looking sleek.

• Low-Iron (Ultra Clear): High-end, low-tint appearance.

Our glass meets ANSI safety standards and is easy to clean with a squeegee or soft cleaner.

3. Measure Your Opening Correctly

This is crucial! Before buying, take the following measurements:

• Opening Width: Measure at the bottom, middle, and top.

• Height: From the base to the top of your desired door.

• Wall Conditions: Are the walls plumb (straight) or slightly angled?

Bakiwhs provides step-by-step measurement guides for each model.

4. Pick the Right Finish & Hardware

Bakiwhs offers modern hardware finishes like:

• Matte Black – bold and contemporary

• Brushed Gold – for luxury-style bathrooms

• Brushed Nickel or Chrome – clean, timeless look

• Solid Brass – heavy-duty, premium feel

Our doors come with stainless steel or brass hardware for long-lasting corrosion resistance.
